Raymarine i50 Depth Sounder & i60 Wind Pack with short masthead element, through-hull Speed/Temperature/Depth transducers ST900/P120 & P319

The Raymarine i50 Loch Sondeur display, also known as the i50 Tridata, is designed to show essential navigation data. It provides accurate information on:

Boat speed (log)
Water depth
Water temperature
Distance traveled (totalizer and daily log).

The Raymarine i60 Vent display is dedicated to weather data. It clearly displays:

Apparent wind speed
Apparent wind angle
True wind speed (calculated if a speed source is available on the network)
True wind angle (calculated if a speed source is available on the network)
VMG (Velocity Made Good) upwind.

The T70584 kit includes two through-hull transducers:

A combined ST900/P120 transducer that measures boat speed and water temperature.A P319 transducer dedicated to depth measurement.These transducers are designed to be installed through the hull of your boat.

This pack is particularly well suited to mid-sized sailboats. It provides a complete and reliable instrumentation solution for most sailing navigation needs, delivering essential wind, speed, depth, and temperature data. The short masthead unit is also designed to integrate easily on most sailboat masts.

Raymarine i50 and i60 displays offer several key advantages:

Exceptional readability: Large digits and powerful backlighting for easy reading day or night.Intuitive interface: Simple and clear controls for easy use.Reliability: Designed to withstand harsh marine environments.Easy integration: Compatible with SeaTalkng (NMEA 2000) network for simple connection to other Raymarine instruments.Dedicated features: Each display is optimized for a specific data type, enabling quick consultation.

The short masthead element is the sensor that measures wind speed and direction. It is designed to be mounted at the top of the sailboat's mast. Its short design minimizes windage and top weight while ensuring accurate wind measurement, which is essential for sailing.

The i50 and i60 displays are both dedicated instruments from Raymarine's i series, but they display different types of data:

The i50 Loch Sounder (Tridata) is designed for bottom and displacement data: speed, depth, water temperature, and distance traveled. The i60 Wind is specifically dedicated to weather data: apparent and true wind speed and direction.

While they share a similar design and connect via the same SeaTalkng network, their functions are complementary.

No, the i50 Loch Sondeur (Tridata) display is specifically designed to show speed, depth, and water temperature data. For wind data (speed and direction), you must use the included i60 Vent display, which is dedicated to this function.

Yes, both transducers included in the T70584 pack are through-hull type. This means they require drilling holes in the boat's hull for installation. The ST900/P120 transducer (speed/temperature) and the P319 transducer (depth) are both designed for through-hull installation to ensure optimal data measurement.

Yes, Raymarine generally provides mounting templates with their i-series displays. These templates are essential for marking and cutting the necessary openings in the dashboard or console for flush-mounting i50 and i60 displays, ensuring a perfect fit and a clean finish.

The instruments in this pack use Raymarine's proprietary network, SeaTalkng. This protocol is fully compatible with the NMEA 2000 industry standard, allowing easy integration with other NMEA 2000-compatible marine equipment on board your boat.

Yes, the installation of this pack is generally considered feasible by an experienced sailor with solid DIY skills and knowledge of marine electrical systems. It involves drilling the hull for through-hull transducers and mounting the displays, as well as setting up the SeaTalkng network. Detailed instructions are provided by Raymarine to guide the user.

The masthead unit must be installed at the highest possible point on the mast, clear of any obstructions (such as antennas or flags) that could disrupt wind flow. It must be securely fastened to withstand wind loads and boat motion. A cable runs from the sensor to the i60 Vent display or to the SeaTalkng network.

Yes, the Raymarine T70584 pack is compatible with the NMEA 2000 network. The i-series instruments use Raymarine’s SeaTalkng protocol, which is fully compatible with the NMEA 2000 standard. This means you can connect these instruments to an existing NMEA 2000 network or create a new one, and they will be able to communicate with other NMEA 2000 devices.

Yes, the i50 and i60 displays are designed to integrate easily into an existing Raymarine system, particularly if it already uses the SeaTalkng network. If your existing system uses the older SeaTalk1 protocol, a SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter (sold separately) will be required for compatibility.

The i50 and i60 displays are optimized to work with Raymarine sensors via the SeaTalkng network. However, since SeaTalkng is NMEA 2000 compatible, they can receive and display data from other brands' sensors that transmit standard information over the NMEA 2000 network. Direct integration of non-Raymarine sensors that are not NMEA 2000 is generally more complex or impossible.

Yes, you can definitely add other displays from the i series, including the i70s, to this system. All Raymarine i-series instruments use the same SeaTalkng network, allowing easy and modular expansion of your instrumentation system. Simply connect the new displays to the existing SeaTalkng network.
